Advanced imaging capabilities
DirectImage (formerly known as DirectXport) is a cross-platform, easy to use Scripting Xtra for Macromedia Director, Authorware and Shockwave that provides applications with the ability to create, export, import, capture and manipulate images.
Using DirectImage Xtra, Director, Authorware and Shockwave applications can perform the following tasks through scripting:
-
Export Director image cast members, lingo image objects, the Director stage or Authorware display icons into various image file formats, including JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, PICT, PSD, animated GIF and many more.
-
Import image files into Director image cast members or lingo image objects. The Xtra can read from more than 30 different image file formats.
-
Perform a screen capture into a Director image cast member or file.
-
Convert an image from one format to another.
-
Change the color depth of an image to 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32 bits with palette remapping and dithering support.
-
Resize, scale, magnify and minify images.
-
Flip, flop, roll, chop, crop and shave images.
-
Rotate and shear images.
-
Perform image processing effects: blur, sharpen, oil paint, charcoal paint, implode, explode, motion blur, morph, shade, spread, swirl, wave, raise, edge, emboss, solarize and more.
-
Perform image processing enhancements: contrast, modulate, reduce noise, normalize and more.
-
Get and set the image pixels and background color.
-
Get and set the image resolution, compression type and colorspace.
-
Store application specific data as part of the image.
-
Retrieve the EXIF and IPTC information associated with imported images.
-
Access and manipulate image frames \ layers.
-
Flatten or coalesce images with multiple frames \ layers.
-
Set the image transparency.
DirectImage Xtra was designed in a way that it can easily be used in conjunction with our other Director and Authorware Xtras :
-
Director image cast members or Authorware display icons can be sent via e-mail as file attachments using our DirectEmail Xtra.
-
Image files can be imported from an FTP server using our DirectFTP Xtra, and Director image cast members or Authorware display icons can be exported to image files on the server.
-
A Director image cast member or an Authorware display icon can be set as the desktop wallpaper using our DirectOS Xtra.
-
Applications can use DirectOS Xtra to manipulate open windows prior to capturing the screen using DirectImage Xtra. For example, all open windows can be minimized in order to capture the desktop image.
DirectImage
Xtra is Shockwave safe, so it can also be used with Shockwave 7 and above and when
Director safety features are turned on.
When the Xtra is in safe mode it can import and export image files through
a built-in
file selection dialog box from/to anywhere on the local machine,
or
directly from/to the Shockwave support folder (dswMedia
folder) or any other local dswMedia folder without displaying a dialog box.
An auto downloadable Shockwave safe package of DirectImage
Xtra is also
available. It is a compressed (600K - 800K) version of the Xtra that can be downloaded
automatically
from a web site to the user's local machine whenever needed, and once
installed provides Shockwave applications on the web with the advanced imaging capabilities
that the Xtra provides.
